    Detailed Answer

    Based on Dr. Bashi’s video, with additional information for clarity and context.

    Dental implants are commonly made from titanium, a material widely used in medical and dental implants. Biocompatibility supports its use, but does not make implant surgery completely free of risks.

    Possible problems include infection, incomplete healing, loss of supporting bone, or implant failure. The dentist reviews your oral health, medical history, medications, and available bone before recommending treatment.

    Daily cleaning and ongoing professional care remain important after the restoration is fitted. Your consultation should explain the expected benefit and the risks relevant to your situation.
